When redundancies are unavoidable, Expanse365 ensures departing employees leave supported, engaged, and redeployed faster — reducing cost-per-exit and protecting your employer reputation

The Cost of Getting Redundancy Wrong

The Hidden Price of Poor Redundancy Management

When redundancy isn’t handled with care, the financial and cultural consequences can spiral:

Employment Tribunal Risk: Even 3 unfair dismissal claims in a redundancy programme of 100 people can cost £80,000-£100,000+ once awards and legal fees are included.¹

Replacement & Recruitment Costs: Replacing a single skilled employee costs between £12,000–£25,000+ in lost productivity and hiring expenses.²

Employee Morale & Engagement: Mishandled redundancy causes a productivity drop of up to 25% among retained staff due to “survivor syndrome” (stress, disengagement, burnout).³

Employer Brand Damage: Research shows that 69% of jobseekers would not apply to a company after hearing about a poorly managed redundancy process.⁴

Most employers under-estimate the true cost of redundancy by at least 2-3×

Case Study Snapshot

Case Study: Doing It Right vs Doing It Wrong

A UK healthcare provider planned to reduce headcount by 60 roles.

Without external support, projections showed tribunal exposure of £250,000+, plus high staff turnover in critical roles.

With structured consultation, manager coaching, and redeployment planning:
- 0 tribunal claims were filed.
- 30% of staff were successfully redeployed internally.
- Cost-per-exit was reduced by 33% compared to sector averages.

Expanse365 builds this level of resilience into every programme.
